Virgin Media was one of five major broadband firms ordered to block the website on Monday after an application to the High Court by the BPI, a record industry trade body. The Pirate Bay, based in Sweden, offers an index of millions of copyright songs, films and TV shows to download from other users via the BitTorrent file sharing protocol.

However, all is not lost! Thanks to Pirate Party UK, if you’re with Virgin Media you can circumvent this ban.
